"The Party Song"
(Tom DeLonge / Mark Hoppus)

[Intro: Mark Hoppus]
Here you go motherfuckers

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Do you wanna come to a party
My friends picked me up in a truck at 11:30
This thing's at a frat house
But people are cool there
Reluctant I followed
But I never dreamed there
Would be someone there who
Would catch my attention
I wasn't out searching
For love or affection
So I payed my three in
And the girls got in free
Shined the beer for tequila
And we headed into the party

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
And then in the backyard
Some terrible ska band
Someone in the background
Was doing a keg stand
This place is so lame
All these girls look the same
All these guys have no game
I wished I would've stayed
In my bed back at home, watching TV alone
Where I'd put on some porn
Or have sex on the phone
Far from people I hate
Down from Anywhere State
Trying to intoxicate girls
To give them head after the party

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
And then I saw her standing there
With green eyes and long blonde hair
She wasn't wearing underwear
At least I prayed that
She might be the one
Maybe we'd have some fun
Maybe we'd watch the sun rise
But that night I learned some girls try too hard

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Tom DeLonge]
(Duh nah nah, duh nah nah, duh nah nah)
Some girls try too hard
(Duh nah nah, duh nah nah, duh nah nah)
And some girls try
Too hard to impress with
The way that they dress with
Those things on their chests and
The things they suggest to me

[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]
I couldn't believe what this lady was saying
The names she was dropping
The games she was playing
She dated this guy who now rides for Black Flys
How she's down with
The wise well-constructed disguise
Now I'd rather go dateless
Than stay here and hate this
Her volume of makeup
Her fake tits were tasteless
So I said I'd call her
But never would bother
Until I got turned down
By another girl at a party

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
So when you see her standing there
With green eyes and long blonde hair
She won't be wearing underwear
And you'll discover
This girl's not the one
And she'll never be fun
So you should just turn and run
Because you'll find out that
Some girls try too hard

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Tom DeLonge]
(Duh nah nah, duh nah nah, duh nah nah)
Some girls try too hard
(Duh nah nah, duh nah nah, duh nah nah)
And some girls try
Too hard to impress with
The way that they dress with
Those things on their chests and
The things they suggest to me

[Outro: Mark Hoppus & Tom DeLonge]
(Duh nah nah, duh nah nah, duh nah nah)
Some girls try too hard
(Duh nah nah, duh nah nah, duh nah nah)
Some girls try too hard
